Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

What followed was meticulous cleaning.

She was still neat and skillful, doing it very proficiently.

Leon thought that as a Silver Dragon Queen, she would never do this kind of housework.

For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his teacher's wife in Rossweise.

That simple and hardworking farmer's wife also did housework with such seriousness and care.

Thinking of this, Leon's mood sank a little again.

Although his memory of last night wasn't complete, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have said… he missed home.

More than two years… how could he not miss it?

He didn't even know how his teacher and the teacher's wife were doing.

Leon tapped his fingers and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking to Rossweise.

"Um… remember the bet we made before? About letting the daughters call you mom to see if they'd be happier?"

Rossweise paused her housework and turned around, saying, "Yes, I remember. Have you decided what request to make?"

'Wow, so straightforward. It seems she is clearly aware that the daughters had become closer to her after changing how they addressed her.'

"I've decided. Could you send someone to the Empire… to check on my teacher and his wife?"

Leon continued, "I know the dragon race sends spies to human nations. You've even trained clansmen specifically for this, right?"

Rossweise's expression shifted slightly, and she replied, "Our Silver Dragon clan isn't very good at such infiltration missions. Only those dragons skilled at disguise handle them. But if it's just visiting your teacher and his wife, that's no problem."

Leon's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank—then I'll trouble you with this."

Rossweise chuckled softly, "Saying thank you to an archenemy? That's pretty rare, haha."

Leon turned his face away, saying nothing more.

Rossweise quietly resumed her cleaning.

Soon, the room was nearly spotless.

At this moment, Leon heard the door lock turning.

A few seconds later, two small figures walked into the bedroom one after another.

"Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning, Mom!"

"Morning, Noah, Luna."

The two little ones then looked at Leon on the bed. They were about to greet him but noticed their father didn't look quite right.

Luna suddenly remembered the "chocolate candy" from yesterday.

'Dad had said it was medicine for Mom, but Mom said it was actually because Dad was unwell but couldn't admit it, so he claimed it was medicine for her.'

'Looking at it this way…'

'Mom was right after all.'

Luna quickly ran to the bed, her little face full of worry.

"Dad, are you feeling unwell?"

Leon looked at his youngest daughter in confusion, "Huh? No, no, I'm fine, just a bit tired."

"I already know, Dad. Don't force yourself."

Leon froze, "You—what do you know…"

He glanced at Rossweise.

'Could it be that this female dragon told the kids?'

'Hey, seriously?'

'How could you tell children about this sort of thing.'

'Doesn't their dad need to save face?'

Noah, hearing this, had a fleeting look of concern cross her cold little face.

However, unlike Luna, she didn't show it outright, merely standing silently by the side.

"Dad, yesterday you said it was Mom who was sick, but it's actually you, isn't it?"

Luna clutched Leon's sleeve, her voice slightly choked, "I know, Dad, men can't admit they're sick, but—but your face looks worse now. I'm so worried about you."

"Don't cry, don't cry. Dad's fine."

Leon hurriedly reached out, wanting to hold Luna in his arms.

But he realized his body was too weak to even lift his little dragon girl easily.

Finally, it was Noah who supported her sister's backside, helping her sit on Leon's lap.

After helping, Noah still stood coldly to the side, but her gaze never left Leon.

Leon wiped the tears from Luna's eyes, smiling as he said, "Dad's really fine. If something were wrong, I'd be lying flat and unresponsive right now. How could I still hold you and talk to you?"

He thought a little joke would cheer up his little girl as before. But Luna still looked worried.

"Dad, you're lying. You're sick and feeling unwell."

Luna sniffled. "Oh, right, you prepared medicine yesterday, didn't you? Did you take it?"

"…I, I took it."

"Then why aren't you better yet, Dad?"

"…Emmmmm."

"Was the medicine not strong enough?"

"…."

"Did you not take enough of it?"

"…."

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

'Little darling, if you keep asking, it's going to get really awkward.'

"Dad, answer me! Don't scare me, Dad, say something."

Noah, observing Leon's expression, blinked thoughtfully and seemed to figure things out.

'This guy is probably genuinely unwell, lied to Luna that Mom was sick, then took the medicine himself, only to find it didn't work—and now his condition was even worse than before.'

'In short, it was a complete fail.'

She glanced at Mom's reaction.

Rossweise was silently doing housework but seemed to be… holding back laughter?

'Oh, that explains it.'

'At least he isn't dying.'

"Dad! Dad! Luna can't live without you. Dad, get better soon!"

Noah tugged at her sister's tail, saying, "Come on, Luna. Let's go play. We'll check on him tonight."

"No! If Dad doesn't have long to live, I need to stay with him."

"What do you mean 'doesn't have long to live'? Don't misuse idioms. Come on, he's fine. I promise he'll be lively at dinner tonight."

Luna blinked her big, pretty eyes, "Really, Sis? You're not lying to me?"

"Mm, not lying."

"Okay. Dad, you get some rest. We'll have dinner together tonight."

"…Sure."

Luna jumped off Leon, and Noah took her hand, leading her out of the bedroom.

"Dad, make sure to rest well and take your medicine." Luna shouted before leaving.

Click—

The door closed.

"Pfft—"

Rossweise, who had been holding it in, finally burst into laughter.

Leon's face darkened completely.

"Who understands my life right now?"

Fortunately, thanks to the training under his teacher during his childhood, Leon's basic physical constitution was still quite good. No matter how exhausted or weak he was, after a few days of rest, he could recover to about seventy or eighty percent.

Although he still couldn't perform heavy physical labor, taking a walk, playing with his daughter, or reading books was no problem at all.

On this sunny day, Noah went for her physical training, so Leon could make time to spend with his little daughter.

If Leon didn't brush up on his presence in Luna's life, his obedient daughter might really think her old father had passed away.

He carried Luna to the back garden of the temple.

"Dad, let's continue playing Dragon Knight~" Luna suggested.

"Alright."

Saying this, Leon was about to lift Luna, letting her ride on his shoulders.

But halfway through, Luna suddenly wagged her tail and said, "Wait a minute, Dad."

"What's wrong?"

"Mom said your body hasn't fully recovered, so Luna can't play Dragon Knight with Dad—it'll affect Dad's recovery."

Leon was slightly stunned. His little dragon girl was still so thoughtful.

He smiled. "It's fine. Luna isn't very heavy."

"That still won't do."

Luna stubbornly said this, kicking her legs to signal Leon to put her down.

Leon couldn't argue with his daughter, so he had to listen to her.

After putting Luna down, Leon squatted in front of her and patiently asked, "Then what game shall we play?"

Luna pouted her little lips, thinking for a long time, but couldn't come up with a game that didn't require much physical effort yet was still fun.

Seeing Luna in a dilemma, Leon suggested,

"If Luna can't think of a good game, how about Dad makes you a toy?"

The little dragon girl's eyes lit up. "A toy?"

"Mm-hmm."

"What kind of toy?"

"You'll know once it's done. Come on, let's go to the storage room to find some materials."

"Okay~"

Whether it was playing a game or making a toy, for Luna, there wasn't much difference.

What mattered most was that she wanted to spend time with Dad.

The world of children is just that simple—as long as they can be with Dad, they'll be happy no matter what they do.

Leon took Luna to the temple's storage room, where they gathered some parts and tools.

After gathering everything, Leon weighed the items in his hand and checked the number of parts.
